date night

Our friends at the fantastic San Francisco Ballet want to make your Thursday the new Friday! Thrill to a wide range of spectacular dance with specially-priced premium seats, plus an awesome post-performance cocktail reception where you can meet some of the City's premier artists—all for less than the cost of an evening out on the town.

If you want to have a successful excursion in this town, you need a plan—and it better be a good one. Since it's not always easy to strike that perfect balance between "pre-game" drink, food and a show, we bring you the Date Nightseries — a block-by-block guide to weekend itineraries that only require one parking space. This weekend, we've got an artsy excursion to the Dogpatch on tap.

Cheesemongers are great at their job if they successfully convey what the original purveyor would want us to know. The Cheese School thrives with these erudite cheese connoisseurs who teach a rotation of classes to the not nearly as cheese-educated among us. If you’re interested in expanding your knowledge of cheese, seeking a unique date idea, or crave an atypical night out with friends, The Cheese School a delightful (and delicious) didactic destination makes.
